Another poor Raw and once again for at least the 4th Rumble in a row the winner has been telegraphed a mile off.
Can't believe how dead the crowd was for most of it, but then it was completely predictable. Drawing Reigns as number 1 entrant was being predicted here weeks ago. League of Nations being used as fodder to make Reigns and Lesnar look like the 2 favourites again predicted here weeks ago.
The only good point was they finally made Bray look a threat, I for one would love him to win with the help of his family.
This is how I would book the Rumble match, final 4 of Sheamus, Reigns,Lesnar and Wyatt (unless they want to put the title on Styles I wouldn't have him debut in the Rumble match, maybe have him and Balor shown talking backstage or in the crowd like the Radicalz). Jericho was eliminated by Sheamus he then distracts him allowing someone to eliminate him (sets up Jericho vs Sheamus which I feel they teased). Then when it looks like Reigns might be about to eliminate Lesnar, HHH storms the ring eliminates Reigns setting up their Mania match, whilst keeping Reigns looking strong since he entered number 1.
Final 2 Wyatt and Lesnar, have them trade false finishes like Taker and Michaels in 2007. Then each member of the family comes from under the ring where they have been since being eliminated. They enter the ring Lesnar fights them off but Wyatt manages to get him over the top rope. Sets up Lesnar vs Wyatt at Mania, have Lesnar take out each family member in the build up to Mania.
They won't do this but it be way more interesting than Reigns going coast to coast

What was going on with Vince taking out names, failing to unscrew them then replacing them without even acknowledging that he'd done anything?! Made me chuckle.

All we need is a $100,000 bounty on Reigns and it's be 98/ 99 all over again, AJ Styles will invade and target someone and take out (Undertaker ministry of darkness scenario anyone)

They should just have HHH blindside and eliminate Reigns early in the Rumble match. Roman was only in the Rumble for like 28 minutes last year, and most of it he was resting in the corner. If they have him in the final 4 this year. The lengths they'll have to go in getting him there, is going to be ridiculous.

The inspiration for this year's Rumble, does appear to be from the 99' Rumble. The only thing I want to play out in similar fashion though. Is for the Ambrose vs Owens 'Last Man Standing' match, to be as crazy awesome as the Rock vs Mankind 'I Quit' match.
